Naval parades across countries of the Axis of Resistance took place on Thursday as part of the activities of International Al-Quds Day with boats raising the Palestinian flags in support of the Palestinian people and their cause.

Ahead of launching the event in Iran, Brigadier General Ali Reza Tangsiri, the commander of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps' Naval Force, said, "The naval parade that we are holding in support of the oppressed Palestinian people is dedicated to all Islamic nations and people who stand by this cause."

International Al-Quds Day is a yearly event that takes place on the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan to confirm unwavering support for Palestine, its people, and Resistance, and the resolute determination to liberate the Palestinian land from the Israeli occupation entity.

The Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces said earlier on International Al-Quds Day celebrations that the Israeli occupation entity today is up against unprecedented series of challenges and crises on its internal front.

The top Iranian general stressed that "the countdown to the collapse of the Zionist entity has begun, and it will not exist in the near distant future" and that "it was proven through experience that normalizing relations with the Zionist entity is a failed step."

At the same time,  Al Mayadeen correspondent reported that "about 700 boats are taking part in the naval parade in the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas in solidarity with Al-Quds, and about 2,700 marine vessels are participating in the event in other Iranian ports, accompanied by military vessels and battleships."
